review 1: This well-done 33,000-word novella leaves me more curious about Callihan's world of Darkest London. The steampunk and paranormal elements are present here though very light; it's really about the people and a really lovely romance. Eamon and Lu fall in love as penpals. The proble...

review 1: The characters were well developed and the plot was good, progressing at a steady pace - but the sex scenes were abysmal. There's a delicate balance between tease and falling flat. This book fell flat several times. When they finally consummated it was anticlimactic. Literally. T...

review 1: This New Adult romance was sweet, fun, and satisfying. The title is a little misleading in that the couple may start off as a hook up, but they are exclusive. Their relationship develops from the purely physical to deeply committed and necessary for each other's inner peace and w...

review 1: While I clearly saw at the ending of the previous book in this series that Holly and Will would find themselves paired, I wasn't sure how it would happen. Falling in love with the man who wants to kill you wasn't quite what I expected. This is a great story set within a vivid wor...

review 1: Great PNR-UF-Steampunk-Historical - and very, very hot! This had a lof of very entertaining dialogue, a dramatic and engaging "crime" plot full of murder and mayhem and a great romance. It had a very likable heroine who tried to start a life of her own and enjoy it and a tortured...

review 1: So refreshing to finally read a book where the author actually knows how to write! The writing is absolutely terrific. The only complaints I have (which obviously didn't detract from my score) were that secrets were kept too long, and sex was withheld too long. Those are peeve...
